A Set-Oriented Path Following Method for the Approximation of Parameter Dependent Attractors In this work we present a set-oriented path following method for the computation of relative global attractors of parameter-dependent dynamical systems. We start with an initial approximation of the relative global attractor for a fixed parameter λ0 computed by a set-oriented subdivision method. By using previously obtained approximations of the parameter-dependent relative global attractor we can track it with respect to a one-dimensional parameter λ > λ0 without restarting the whole subdivision procedure. We illustrate the feasibility of the set-oriented path following method by exploring the dynamics in low-dimensional models for shear flows during the transition to turbulence and of large-scale atmospheric regime changes . 705-723 705-723
